Matchup(s) of the Week:

Away	vs	Home
2 . Stevie ( 7 - 1 - 0 )	v.	4 . Ethan ( 7 - 1 - 0 ) [ + 0.5 ]

This matchup week represents the half-way point of the regular season, and this week we got a battle between Stevie and Ethan in a re-match of the IST Knockout First Round from Week 6. Ethan and Stevie represent the only two teams above .500 at this point of the season in the Rec division, so this matchup could be a deciding one for seeding, the division title, and a first-round bye in the playoffs. Stevie's team is without Bilal Coulibaly and recent acquisition Jrue Holiday for this matchup, but the rest of his team remains healthy. He's stacked up wins against Zhang, Pat (x2), and Yash, but lost to Ethan in their only previous matchup by a score of 5-4. He may have a great shot at beating Ethan this week, as Ethan is down Giannis, AG, and Reaves, but has returned DBook recently from injury. Ethan's team may also be sleepwalking after cruising to a victory against Yash who has now dropped 4 straight. Ethan is a resounding 5-1-1 against Stevie all-time, and he'll look to continue his dominance and become the favorite for the Rec division.
